On July 14, local time July 13, U.S. President Donald Trump told the media at the White House that he still believes a deal between the U.S. and Iran is possible, stating that 'Iran wants a deal and has re-engaged with the U.S.' Trump also said that the U.S. military will continue to launch fierce strikes against Iran to significantly weaken its ability to affect navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, while simultaneously reinstating a 'blockade specifically targeting Iran,' under which any vessels doing business with Iran will not be able to pass, though other countries and ships can still transit normally.

On July 14, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller stated that if the artificial intelligence (AI)-related asset bubble bursts or the market experiences a sharp correction, financial conditions would undergo "considerable changes." Waller said he does not want the Fed to raise interest rates prematurely to avoid triggering an economic recession, but also emphasized that the Fed cannot repeat the mistake of reacting too slowly to inflation as it did in 2021. He believes the current job market remains stable and there are "credible reasons" to think inflation can continue to decline without further tightening of policy. However, Waller warned that relying solely on market expectations for inflation to fall is not enough to justify the Fed staying on hold. If the Fed waits to act until market confidence fades, it may have to raise rates more aggressively to catch up with inflation. "We cannot tolerate ignoring inflation until it completely disappears," he said.

On July 14, local time July 13, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the United States is protecting several wealthy countries in the Middle East and therefore should receive compensation from those nations. Trump specifically mentioned Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait, saying that the U.S. is safeguarding these countries as well as Israel. He claimed that the U.S. is investing funds in the region, so it is appropriate for the protected countries to share the related costs. Trump also said that the U.S. has abundant oil resources, adding, 'Counting oil from Venezuela and elsewhere, the U.S. controls more than half of the world’s oil supply,' and therefore the U.S. itself 'does not rely on Middle Eastern oil' — its actions in the Middle East are 'mainly to protect allies.'

On July 14, according to CNN, U.S. President Trump on Monday described the renewed U.S. bombing campaign against Iran as a 'military conflict,' denying that it marked the start of a new long-term phase of combat, but he refused to specify how long the conflict would last. Trump said: 'We have to take the actions we are taking. We have significantly degraded their capabilities, but they will resist for some time.' Although the current fighting has already far exceeded the initial four-to-six-week operational timeline set by the U.S. government, Trump downplayed the possibility that the conflict could continue indefinitely. He said: 'We fought in Vietnam for 19 years. We have been here for only four months, so I think we have done a lot.' Trump did not provide details on how he plans to ultimately end the war, only insisting that he can eventually negotiate a deal with Iran. But he acknowledged that a short-term agreement is unlikely.

On July 14, Iran's Foreign Minister said: President Trump is completely right. Any party that provides security guarantees for the safe passage of merchant ships through the Strait of Hormuz should be compensated for that. However, a 20% charge is certainly too high; we will charge fairly.

On July 14, a wholesale digital market report backed by the UK Treasury listed Ripple as one of the core participants, planning to move repurchase agreements (repos), UK gilts, and funds from the regulatory sandbox to real markets within the next 12 months. It is expected to boost the UK economy by approximately £33 billion in annual output and £14 billion in tax revenue over the next decade. The report proposes a hybrid architecture of a permissioned institutional network layered on top of a public blockchain, citing BlackRock's tokenized money market fund BUIDL on Ethereum as an example, while noting that the settlement finality risks caused by public blockchain reorganizations remain to be addressed. The report also mentions Ripple's acquisition of Hidden Road (renamed Ripple Prime) and Santander UK's use of the Ripple blockchain for cross-border payments, arguing that traditional finance and crypto institutions are converging.

July 14, CNN reported that Trump recently said the U.S. might charge a 20% security transit fee for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. But just last month, Secretary of State Rubio called charging for this critical waterway 'simply not feasible.' During a visit to three Gulf states in late June, Rubio repeatedly stated that the Strait of Hormuz is an international waterway and should not impose transit fees on ships. He said, 'Whether you call it a fee, a toll, or a donation, if you have to pay to go through, it's a toll.' He also questioned how such a fee mechanism would be enforced: 'What if a ship refuses to pay? This isn't like a road toll; it's not just a ticket. If you open fire on a ship and sink it, other ships will also be afraid to go through. Such a mechanism is not only unwise but also simply not feasible.' Previously, Iran had stated it would not charge 'transit fees' for the Strait of Hormuz but said it might charge fees for related services provided.
